We turned to look at the author of
this observation, and saw it was one the
Spanish merchants.
«It would seem that the gentleman
was familiar with the cusom ofghosts,’
exclaimed a young man by my side,
‘and that they have told him that they
like neither to get muddy nor wet.’
* Young man,' said the Spaniard, cast
ing a terribld’glance at the last speaker,
‘speak not so lightly on a subject with
which you are little acquainted.’
‘Would you like to make me believe
in ghosts?' returned, the man disdain
fully.
‘Perhaps,’replied the Spaniard,* if you
have sufficient courage to look on them.'
Flushed with anger, the young roan
sprang to his feet. In a moment, how
ever, he calmed himself and sat down

again, saying—
‘ You should pay dear for that remark,
were it not uttered by a madman.’
* A madman !’ echoed the other, aris
ing in his turn. ‘Listen!’ he added,
striking the table with his fist, and
throwing down a heavy leathern purse,
‘ Here are thirty quadruples which I am
willing to lose, if, within an hour 1 do
not call up before your face the figure
of any deceased person you shall name,
even though he has been dead ten years;
and if, after recognising him, you dare
to allow him to imprint a kiss upon
your lips.’
* You will do that ?* said the young
man, with a scornful smile.
‘Yes,’ replied the Spaniard, * on con
dition that you lose the same amount if
; I succeed.’
Thirty quadruples, my worthy con
jurer,’ said the young man, gaily, after
a moment’s silence, • is more than a
student of Toulouse ever possessed ;
but if you will reduce the stake to five,
I am your man.’
The Spaniard took up his purse and
said, * Ah! you refuse, monsieur?
* I refuse ?’ echoed the other. * If I
ly had the thirty quadrupl
would see.’
Here arc four,* said I, ‘ which I add
to your slakes.’
Several others followed my cxampl
and soon the sum was made up. We
chose for the trial, a small pavilion in
the garden, so entirely isolated that the
locality offered no chance for fraud.—
We made ourselves sure that there
were but two nutlets, viz: a window
which was carefully closed, and a door,
on the outside of which we were sta
tioned. Upon the table had been plac
ed materials for writing, and the lights
had been carried away. The young
man was shut up alone in the pavilion,
the Spaniard remaining with us outside
the door.
A breathless silence pravailed for a
Come, let me touch thee

‘ What do you see?* cried the Span
iard, in a voice of thunder.
‘He comes—be pursues me—he
stretches out his arras—he will seize

Are you afraid ? cried the conjuror,
with savage joy.
A piercing cry, and then a stifled sob,
were the only answer to this terrible friends and all the
question. j launch himself out
I think I have won,’ said the Span-1
iard, bitterly ; ‘but I am satisfied with
having taught him a lesson. Let him
keep the money and be more wise in fu
ture.’
So saying, he walked rapidly away.
Fixed with horror, we re-opened the
door, and found the young student seiz
ed wiih fearful convulsions. The pa

on the table. Recovering, the young I thing of him, and keep

an oath of vengeance, rushed from the
room. We saw neither him nor the
Spaniard afterward.
My uncle finished. Trembling with
terror, we dared not look about us. At
last I summoned sufficient courage to
say:
‘ And why, after all this, do you not
believe in ghosts ?’
Because neither the conjuror nor
student ever returned, but ran off with
the money we had advanced ; whence
concluded that they were two con
summate villians of whom we were the
dupes! Believe me, my dear child

Murder.
In tracing the customs of our ances
tors, we alternately pity their supersti
tious usages, and are amused at the cre
dulity of the legislature, in continuing
absurdities which would be scoffed at
even by children. There was\a super
stitious notion once exceedingly preva
lent, regarding the discovery of the mur
derer by the touch of the dead body.—
In Germany this experiment was called
bahr rccht, or the law of the bier, because
the murdered body being stretched upon
a bier, the suspected person was obliged
to put one hand upon the wound, and {
the other upon the ipouih of the deceas* |

Love and Crime.
It is well known that the shark, the
most remorseless monster of the deep,
is usually attended .by a harmless
and playful little guide and compan
ion, familiarly known by the name of
the Pilot Fish. The real office which
it performs is not known; but it seems
to be regarded with.tenderness and at
tachment by a creature addicted to fe
rocity and bloodshed, and is admitted
into an intimacy of kindness and love,
while all others are repelled by fear and
awe. In the whole compass of nature,
no analogy more striking and beautiful
than this can be adduced, to illustrate
